Instead, as he has done so often, Trump turned the tables, and Quick was the one left flustered.

The one-sided war of words opened when Quick asked Trump about his policy differences with Facebook czar Mark Zuckerberg, who has proposed increasing the number of highly skilled workers allowed into the country through H-1B visas. As part of his immigration policy, Trump has said he wants American workers and the graduates of American colleges to take the high-paying jobs Silicon Valley creates.

“You have been very critical of Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook who has wanted to increase the number of these H1Bs,” Quick said.

“I was not at all critical of him,” Trump clarified. “I was not at all. In fact, frankly, he’s complaining about the fact that we’re losing some of the most talented people. They go to Harvard. They go to Yale. They go to Princeton. They come from another country and they’re immediately sent out.”

Trump then made his point crystal clear.

“I am all in favor of keeping these talented people here so they can go to work in Silicon Valley,” he said.
